We run split brained DNS here. We have Windows 2000 server for our public zones and as we just upgraded, Windows 2003 DNS for internal zones.
Our internal DNS is configured (I believe correctly) to do root lookups for all zones except for the ones that we control. If appears to do the fine for everything except MX records. This is obviously keeping mail from flowing outbound. To get mail flowing again, I have pointed the internal DNS to forward to our external public DNS servers to do the same root lookups. This works flawlessly. As we will soon be upgrading our public server to Windows 2003, can anyone offer suggestions to get the new DNS servers doing root lookups on their own? All the docs that I have seen and a TechNet search lead me to believe that they are setup correctly to do the root lookups (and DO in fact do them for web browsing).
